Programming Lang: C
Description : a utility for accessing encrypted filesystems
cryptomount enables the user to simply create and mount an encrypted
device based on dm-crypt. It can handle either a raw device or a loop
mounted file as the base for dm-crypt.
It offers the following advantage:
* access to improved functionality in the kernel
* transparent support for filesystems stored on either raw disk
partitions or loopback files
* separate encryption of filesystem access keys, allowing access
passwords to be changed without re-encrypting the entire
filesystem
* storing multiple encrypted filesystems within a single disk
partition, using a designated subset of blocks for each
* rarely used filesystems do not need to be mounted at system
startup
* un-mounting of each filesystem is locked so that this can only be
performed by the user that mounted it, or the superuser
* encrypted filesystems compatible with cryptsetup
* encrypted access-keys are compatible with openssl
